The Promise of the Present and the Shadow of the Past
[Barbara] did not fi t the classic model of an immigrant who becomes acquainted with America through school or work, learns English, falls in love with and adopts Americas values, and is helped along in many cases by an American spouse. First of all, I was not an American. We became American together; if anything, rather than lead, I lagged behind. More important, like me, she came [from Germany] to this country fully bilingual, with considerable familiarity with its history and society, and a developed set of values. America fi t those set of values; she did not have to discover them. This book is in large part for those familiar with Barbaras community service and political work who wish t...
Exploring Identity in Literature and Life Stories
Today, globalization, migration and political polarization complicate the individual’s search for a cohesive identity, making identity formation and transformation key issues in everyday life. This collection of essays highlights a number of the dimensions of identity, including cultural hybridity, religion, ethnicity, profession, gender, sexuality, and childhood, and explores how they are thematized in different narratives. The stories discussed are set in Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, France, Germany, Great Britain, Haiti, India, Israel, Japan, Polynesia, Norway, Romania, Spain and South Africa, emphasizing today’s international focus on identity. The majority of the contributions here focus on literary texts, while others investigate identity formations in interviews, language corpora, student reading logs, film, theatre and pathographies.

Metamorphosis
How do we perdure when we and everything around us are caught up in incessant change? But the course of this change does not seem to be haphazard and we may seek the modalities of its Logos in the transformations in which it occurs. The classic term 'Metamorphosis' focuses upon the proportions between the transformed and the retained, the principles of sameness and otherness. Applied to life and its becoming, metamorphosis pinpoints the proportions between the vital and the aesthetic significance of life. Where could this metaphysical in-between territory come better to light than in the Fine Arts? In this collection are investigated the various proportions between the vital significance of ...
Ephemer und leibhaftig
Das Wortpaar »ephemer und leibhaftig« steht für Besonderheit und Substanz einer jeden theatralen Aufführung. Wenn wir ins Theater gehen, uns eine Aufführung unter dem Aspekt der Vergänglichkeit (des Ephemeren) des Physischen (Leibhaftigen) ansehen und uns darauf einlassen, dem Sterben und dem Tod zuzuschauen, überwinden wir gleichsam die körperlichen Grenzen. Wir sind, ebenso wie eine Theateraufführung, vergänglich in unserer physischen Präsenz. Auf vier Lektüreebenen findet in diesem Band eine Annäherung daran statt: Es geht um einen an der Praxis orientierten schauspieltheoretischen Diskurs und einen theateranthropologischen Beitrag. Eine grundlegende theaterhistoriographische...
